Glass pebbles and rose petals

A wedding is a tiring affair for all those involved in its execution, however rewarding.

Yesterday's was no exception. In all I'd estimate that the on-site preparations took about six hours to complete, involving furniture placement, sound testing, decorations and sorting out last-minute details, from the night before to the following morning prior to the ceremony.

Rain in the morning threatened to dampen the mood, but the weather cleared up briefly to throw a blazing noonday spotlight on the whole procession, muting down to overcast after lunch.

I'm still experiencing fatigue and body aches even after a good night's sleep. I wonder how those full-time photographers take it? Perhaps efficiency of motion comes with experience, and with it, instinctive energy conservation?
